Gov, Hughes Message.

Special 10 the Gazette
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Jan. l2.-Gov.
Hughes to-day delivered his message be-
fore both houses of the general assembly,
which congratulates the assembly and
through them the people of the state, on
the pace and prosperity which prevails
within her borders. The governor spoke
of the bonded debt of the state, which
amounts to $50. 035 Go, including inter
est. The penitentiary, he said, had been
q source Of revenue to the state, amount
ing, from May, 1884, to May, 1886, to
$50, 048. The railroad valuation had
largely increased, as in 1884 the property
of ali tn railroads in the state was val
ued at 1882 9S5; in 1885, So, Gl2 7I3; in
1856. SlS, 704, G8S, an increase of ST. SOL
655. He urged the assem-
bly, to use their influence
to procure the passage Of 8
bill in congress for the distribution of
the cotton fund-about 1858, 100000
the cotton states, from whose people it
had wrCngfullY been cole cted. He sug-
gested that law limiting the right OF
mortgqSing, especially the mortgaging Of
implanted crops, so productive Of evil,
would be beneficial; also that The evils OF
the mortgage system be mitigated by
lessening the amount of property exempt
from sale upon execution. The message
was mature and well considered, abound
ing in many excellent suggestions.

WOman's Resources.
Pauline Adelaide Hardy.

Women need to cultivate their own
resources more. There are some who
early recognize the difference of value
between the perishable and imperishable
things of this earth. Every valuable
possession has its added care and ex-
pense. People who were once in mod
crate circumstances, or poor, even, who
grow wealthy, look back at the old life
as one freer from cares, and happier,
yet, if they were to go back to their
early and simple style of living the world
would severely criticise them. Every
woman needs to keep up her list of old
friends, and to make new ones, too; the
family and children cannot meet all the
wants that middle.aged people must
have for friendship. Not any woman
is so busy but that she can find time to
write an occasional letter. If the friend
to whom she owes letter would come
to see her, she could lay aside work and
talk to her, and urge her to stay longer.
One can stop on the street at the risk
of taking pneumonia in winter, to talk
to friend for half an hour, and why
cannot friends be civil when they do
not meet?
Pure air every day, which housekeep-
ers need so much, would freshen them
up until twice the amount of work could
be accomplished that there is, without
the daily dragging sensation which one
has who stays so closely indoors. There
are mothers and children who do not
go out for week of snowy or stormy
weather, and all grow irritable or cross,
because they have failed to provide
themselves with proper protection against
storms-overshoes leggings, rain-coatS
or umbrellas. The English family, en-
tire, goes out rain or shine. Health
ranks first with them, as it should.

Oval Versus Round Waists.
London Times.

The more closely woman can get
her bust to approximate to the shape of
peg-top the prouder and happier she
usually is. Why the peg-top has attain
ed to the high distinction of serving as
a model for woman is one of the many
puzzles connected with dress. The
Greeks-who certainly knew something
about the human form-assigned to
their ideal waist dimensions quite in
tolerable to an Englishwoman of to-day.
Moreover they made it oval whereas the
modern waist is round. 1t is physi-
illogical fact that there is about an oval
waist delightful suppleness and elasti-
city, while the round waist so common
at the present day is hard, rigid and
unsympathetic. The fact is that some
women are blessed with waists naturally
small, and oval as every natural waist
is, while other women less favored by
nature are determined to outdo the
smallness at no matter what cost. But
no discriminating critic can ever fail to
perceive the difference between natural
and artificial smallness. Perhaps if this
were better understood, women would
cease to ruin their health and weaken
the muscles of their backs by going
about in tight fitting cuirass, even at
the risk of appearing to depart conspic-
uously from woman's ordinary dress.
They would then find that some other
problems, such as distribution of weight,
would settle themselves without much
difficulty.

How to Prevent q aCOId.
Medical Record,

Under this title DR.. Brown -Sequard
makes contribution to the Societe de
Biologie which will be read with inter-
est. Everybody catches cold more or
less often, and nobody wishes to do so;
hence Brown -Sequard's method ought
to be popular. Under the name of
cold are included a number of acute
catarrhal infammatlons affecting the
nasal, pharyngeal, laryngeal, tracheal,
or bronchial mucous membrane. In
this country we even apply the term to
acute affections of the middle ear, the
eye, the stomach intestines, or bladder.
The cause of these so-called colds is
the influence of cold, damp air upon
sensitive portions of the body, produ-
cling thereby disturbance of the vascu-
lar equilibrium. The result is con-
gestion which settles down, perhaps with
the help of microbes, as the late DR..
Austin Flint believed, into an infam-
nation.
The most sensitive parts of the skin,
according to DR.. Brown-Sequard, the
catarrhal genetic areas, are the neck and
the feet. In order to prevent colds,
therefore, one has only to harden these
areas and destroy their sensitiveness.
This is done by daily blowing stream
of cool air, by means of an elastic bag,
upon the neck, and by immersing the
feet in cool water. The air is at first only
slightly cool, but is each day made
colder, until the neck can stand an Arc
tic blast with impunity. The feet are
immersed in water which is at first at
temperature of about go Fah., and this
is gradually reduced to $50 Fab.
DIR. Brown-Sequard's method is only
more rigid and elaborate form of a
very well-known practice, viz, that of
daily bathing in cool water. 1t will,
no doubt, be useful if the person is not
aged or weak. Such methods, however,
seem after a time to lose their efficacy.

The HOrsewOman.

At the Ladies' Tournament during the late
Ventura Fair, Mr.. G. L. Woods, of San Luis
Obispo, one Of the judges, recited the following
verses of his own composing:
FAIR LADIES Since it is pleasant duty
Of man to worship at the shrine of beauty,
Since all we gain by argument or arms
We count as dross compared to woman's charms,
You will perhaps the better understand
The task your humble servants have in hand.
The horse-that beautiful servitor of man
Bearing his rider in the battles van,
Proudly advances through the spoke and fame
To victory, to glory and to fame;
Or if upon the turf he goes for need
Ofproud pre- eminence in point of speed,
He nobly strives to win fair honor's place.
And be the first and foremost in the race.
But though upon the turf or on the field,
Our admiration to the horse we yield;
Yet still some charm he ever seems to need
'Tis woman's grace that beauties the steed.
The broad Pacific, with its ceaseless roar,
Sends wave on wave upon Ventura's shore;
Yet though each wave be powerful and grand,
Moving majestically toward the land,
Something each lacks, until before our eyes
crest Of silver flashes to the skies,
Making of it the oceans mighty swell
Grand in itself, and beautiful as well.
So we admire the horse, whose strength and pride
In various ways so often have been tried;
But when fair woman lends her charming grace
To guide his course, to regulate his pace,
All, then, where we admired so much before,
To tell the truth, fair ladies, we adore.

Bill Nye on Hair-CIofh Lounges.

At one place where l had an engage
ment to change cars, we had a wait of
four hours, and reclined on hair-cloth
lounge at the hotel, with the intention
of sleeping part of the time.
Dear, patient reader, did you ever try
togEride refractory hair-cloth lounge
all night, bare back2 Did you ever get
aboard a short, old. fashioned, black,
hair-cloth lounge, with disposition to
buck?
was told that this was kind, family
lounge that would not shy or make trou-
BILE anywhere, and l had only just closed
my dark-red eyes in sleep when this
lounge gently bumped itself, and shed
me as it would its smooth, dark hair in
the spring, ira la.
The floor caught me in its great,
strong arms and l vaulted backiupon the
polished bosom of the hair-cloth lounge.
1t was made for man about fifty-three
inches in length, and SO / had to sleep
with my feet in my pistol pockets and
my nose in my bosom up to the second
joint.
l got so that l could rise off the floor
and climb on the lonuge without waking
up. 1t got to be second nature to
me. | did just as man who is hungry
in his sleep bites off large fragments of
the air and eats it involuntarily, and
smacks his lips and snorts. So arose
and deposited myself again and again
on that old sway back but frolicsome
wreck without waking. But | couldn't
get aboard softly enough to avoid wax
ing the lounge. 1t would yawn and rum
BILE inside and rise and fall like the deep
rolling sea, till at last gave up trying
to sleep on it any more, and curled up
on the floor.
The hair-cloth lounge in various con-
ditions of decrepitude may be found all
through this region. Its true inward
ness is composed of spiral springs which
have gnawed through the cloth in many
instances. These springs have lost none
of their old elasticity of spirits, and cor
daily corkscrew themselves into the af-
fections of man who sits down on them.
If anything could make me thoroughly
attached to the South it would be one
of these spiral springs bored into my
person about a foot. But that is the
only way to remain on hair-cloth chair
or sofa. No man ever successfully sat
on one of them for any length of time
unless he had strong pair of panta-
looms and spiral spring twisted into
him for some distance.
At the private house the hair-cloth
sofa with pair of dark, reserved chairs
may be found in domesticated state,
waiting for some one to come and fall
off them. In hotels they go in larger
1ocks and Craze together in the parlor.
They are greatly in favor among the
more blue -blooded mass here-the blue
mass as it were.

the crown OF Italy did not blind him
to the countess liking for the Marquis,
and ain unfortunate remark OF the lat
ter fastened the catastrophe. He was
summoned to the presence OF the Min
lister of War and informed that the
King would give him pension Of 600
a month If he would exile himself. II
he refused he would be IN a dungeon
in twenty-four hours.
Pratt had no alternative. He re-
signed his commission on the spot and
broke his sword. Then he came to
this country and soon spent the re-
mainder Of his inheritance. The pen
sion promised him by the King was
regularly paid. After several attempts
to make living by giving lessons in
Italian and French, he got position
as Deputy Marshal and interpreter in
the Mayors Office On the death Of
the King Prati's pension was stopped,
and he lost his position in the Mayors
office. For the last few years Of his
life he earned scanty subsistence by
giving lessons in French and Italian.
His wife died in Italy twenty years age
and then he married Harriet McQuade
Of Orange, N. ]. She died about seven
years ago, leaving three children. Not
long ago King Humbert, hearing thai
the Marquis was in needy circum
stances, sent him 5000.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY ia, 1888,
A PALACE ON WHEELS.

The following description Of the
new Pullman sleeping cars makes US
envious of those whose dividends per-
NIT them to travel across the United
States;--.
The car is the latest thing in palace
sleeping coaches, and is roomy and
well arranged. 1t is upholstered in silk,
is heavily curtained and mirored from
one platform door to the other. The
drawing-room in front is so arranged
that additional berth-room is obtained,
and it is inclosed by wooden and glass
partitions, with side passage. The
seats in the body of the car have high
backs and head rests, which fold to
form a pocket for the reception Of arti-
cles of clothing, while small hammocks
swing against the side Of the car above
each berth and are used for collars,
cuffs and other articles. Another new
feature is the duplex curtain, to obviate
the exposure of passengers IN lower
berths while others are passing to or
from upper berths. The coal box is
placed under the stove in the front end,
thus making room for three new lock-
ers, which contain axes, saws, oil and
other necessaries. There is a new
patent fire extinguisher and the lamps,
two for each section, are Of an i'm
proved make. Electric bell buttons
are at the Side of every berth, and on
the outside Of the car, running to the
porters ROOM The smoking room is
Of new pattern and contains larger
number Of berths than those of the old
Pullman coach. All of the fresco
work and upholstery are in new colors
and are very handsome.
